As filed

Compared to last week, a very light test on a light offering of mostly unweaned steer, bull, and heifer calves selling right off the cows sold with light to moderate demand. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm on a nice offering. Even though this was a light offering, unweaned calves are starting to show up and face discounts as compared to their weaned counterparts.

22 sales

Steers 0–100 lb: high $259.77, low $224.09, median $243.68 across 22 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
